-
3.00 Credits
Selected topics in the mechanics of deformable solids, presented at a level intermediate between introductory strength of materials and advanced continuum mechanics. Lectures discuss structural stability, inelastic material behavior (plasticity, viscoelasticity), one-dimensional structures (cables, arches, curved beams), two-dimensional structures (plates, membranes, shells), and energy methods. Prerequisite MASE 252 or 253.
-
3.00 Credits
The application of fundamental materials science principles in engineering disciplines. Topics include: design of new materials having unique property combinations, selection of materials for use in specific service environment, prediction of materials performance under service conditions, development of processes to produce materials with improved properties, structural and functional use of metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the chemistry and physics of engineering materials. Topics include: atomic and molecular interpretation of physical and chemical properties, the relationships between physical and chemical properties, and performance of an engineering material. Laboratory exercises focus on the properties and structure of engineering materials. Prerequisite: Chem 111A.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Independent investigation on topic of special interest. Prerequisites: junior or senior standing and permission of department chair. Students must complete the independent study approval form available in the department office. CBTL course.
-
0.00 Credits
The topics found in most fundamentals of engineering exams are reviewed and illustrated using examples. A discussion of the importance of licensing exams and the strategies for taking these exams are discussed. The main topics for review include: engineering mathematics, basic chemistry, engineering mechanics, engineering economics, thermodynamics, electrical circuits, and material science.
-
3.00 Credits
Manufacturing processes and machinery are explained and described. Topics include: analytical tools of machine science, heat transfer, vibrations, and control theory are applied to the solution of manufacturing problems, analytical development, and application of engineering theory to manufacturing problems, machine tools, and automated production equipment.
-
3.00 Credits
Feasibility study for a mechanical design project of an open-ended, original design or a creative redesign of a mechanical component or system requiring the application of engineering science principles. Feasibility is subject to economic, safety, legal, environmental, ethical, aesthetic, and other constraints in a competitive manufacturing environment. Project teams perform the detailed design and optimization of the concept developed in the feasibility study. Presentations and reports with manufacturing drawings are completed by each team. Prerequisite: MASE 311.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis and design of advanced thermo-fluid systems. Student teams participate in the design process, which could involve research, design synthesis, codes, standards, engineering economics, a design project report, and formal presentations. Topics include: thermo-fluid systems and components such as: power, heating and refrigeration systems; pumps, fans, compressors, combustors, turbines, nozzles, coils, heat exchangers, and piping. Prerequisite: MASE 301.
-
3.00 Credits
Behavior and design of steel structures by deterministic and load-resistance factor design methods. Design of beams, columns, beam-columns, plate girders, connections, multistory frames, and bridge girders. Plastic analysis and design. Exercises focusing on phenomena of structural behavior, analysis, and design. Prerequisites: MASE 321.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis and design of concrete elements and structures for strength and deformation. Design and use of concrete beams, beam-columns, long columns, one-way and two-way slab systems, and footings as used in indeterminate frames. Exercises focus on phenomena of structural behavior analysis and design. Prerequisites: MASE 421.
